品位与格调是区别芸芸众生与超凡入圣小众的基本因素之一。
品位有关对人或事物的鉴赏力,而格调多与人的德行关联;品位多与教育程度有关,而格调通常依人之秉性各异。两者是可以独立存在的 - 即有品位的人不一定有格调,或有格调的未见得有品位。
两者兼而有之者我们谓之难得之人。然而难得之人难免清高。清高之人内心通常排斥周边的大多数人或事,进而难免内心深处的孤独。
一般人都以为清高之人难以交往。其实一般所谓清高者大致可分为两种:一种是自以为是的不当清高,我们谓之伪清高,交往起来的确乏味;另一种是适当清高,我们谓之自省清高或真清高。后者属于内外兼修者,其外表通情达理,但心底的热忱通常处于休眠状态,只为等待投缘者一触即发的那一刻。
阁下以为如何?
For those who might be interested in knowing me further, here are some facts about myself:
a) Founded on abundant academic experiences in both domestic and overseas universities and institutions, my gamut of interests ranges from natural sciences to liberal arts and humanities, and it used to involve particle physics, cosmology, philosophy, literature, performing arts and even linguistics;
b) Because of a), you may easily comprehend why I would rather ride a bicycle in the city instead of driving, why instead of eating out I would rather cook for myself whenever possible, and why I do not watch domestic television programs and never read any domestic newspapers;
c) For reasons of my own I terminated my academic career some 20 years ago and set foot in business arena. Now I have been working as a Chinese partner of a small US based company for about 10 years, and it has already evolved into a very small part of my daily activities ever since it started to afford far more than I can consume;
d) Indeed I am a simple person in terms of daily life or eats and treats - call me lazy. People would normally deem such a life that I am living as being in lack of quality. While I may be a peaceful person, thanks to my spiritual pursuits and mostly healthy way of life, I may be far from a happy man, so to speak.
(Apologies for writing in such a fancy way. But you know I did it on purpose, donât you :) )
My Ideal Person:
For those with space distance, we can be good friends if you communicate beautifully and genuinely; for those with time distance, we can be pen pals if you write engagingly; for those with no space and time distance, once we are able to approach each other's heart, I would call it mission complete.
